Baby Purcell is a ....... BOY!!!!

Well in my last post, I announced we were not going to find out the gender during my ultrasound on May 12th.  Baby P made it very obvious he was in charge and wanted to be announced!!  The first shot on the screen was a nice butt shot, with the familiar "turtle" between the legs.  Baby P was very active, flipping and kicking all over the place.  The ultrasound tech had to take a little longer to be able to attain the images she needed.

After the ultrasound was completed, I met with Dr. Hulsen to discuss the images and make sure Baby P is developing on track.  Dr. Hulsen informed me our baby boy was perfect!  He is in the 48th percentile for size and weighs about 10 ounces.  All parts are present and healthy.  The baby's heart rate was at 160 bmp.  My due date is still estimated to be October 5th.  And Dr. Hulsen did confirm, yes we are having another BOY!!  

I took two stickers home for the boys and wrote "It's a boy" on the backing of the sticker.  I had Nolan spell out the letters on the paper and announce what the gender was to Nana and Papa.  Nolan is super excited because he has said since day one, "I want a little brother!!"  Today, Nolan informed me he wants to name the new baby Carter, so he can have two Carters.

Today I took belly pictures and the boys were much more cooperative! :)
